Kuro no Maou

The weather in Baron Spiral Horn's territory today is fine.

A blue sky with no clouds, but the Mithrill Mine directly underneath, is a place where mine slaves covered in dirt and mud are as stupid and dirty as ants.

Mithril, written in holy silver.Mithril is famous as a magical precious metal that shines beautifully in silver, but it is mined from the depths of a dark, narrow, and dangerous pit.

Today, a large number of mine slaves were thrown into the pit in search of the sacred glowing magic metal and its ore.

"----Temeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis

The soldier's rage echoed high into the mine in the morning.

To enter the pit, a goblin who had been kicked from the row carrying the mining tools rolled down.

”Uuu, uuu... why...?”

"I'm not walking in a row, this bonkers"

The spit stained the face of the goblin, bewildered by the sudden shock and pain.

He was just walking.It was only natural for a young boy's goblin to be frightened by the harsh labor and poor environment he had been working every day.

It was just unfortunate that the moment the soldier was staggered one step away from the other.

What's he so angry about?

Yesterday, I lost a lot.

”Haha, it's eight strikes, you're in love.”

"Hey, shut up, guys!"

To the chill of his colleagues, the soldier with the blue line on his forehead clashed the goblin even further with the spear in his hand.I would not have stabbed him with the tip of a boulder, but if I had been severely beaten by a collision, it would have been fatal.

I see. The guy who messed up the line is the bad guy, right?

"Bad guys need to be punished properly."I'm going to break one of my arms. "

"Keep it down, you guys." I'll do it. "

Too frightening a conversation, a goblin boy can only shake with a pale face.

The soldier only smiled lightly, and he didn't carry any shards of pity.The other slaves who line up will only pretend not to see them, so that they do not have an irrational spear tip on them.

It doesn't matter. It's just whimsical, just in the mood, easily trampled on by the mind, body, and even life. That's slavery.

"---- Hey, stop it."

But here is a man who stands majestically.

A faded blonde with an impure beard.The thin, dirty wind of the upper body with the pants alone is not uncommon in mine slaves here, but the appearance of wearing large stature and tight muscle armor is never a tired slave.

With a feeling of intimidation like a hungry lion, he shot the soldier straight through with his glittering blue eyes.

"Oh? What the hell? I'll kill you, Sparda."

"Ah, hey, wait a minute, don't touch him!"

"Tch, you're here..."

Even though he was annoyed, he was faced with a slave-like tooth, and his eyes were bloodied. The soldier was angry, but his colleagues stopped him.

You didn't ask about him, did you?

"Ahhh? What the hell!"

"It's His Majesty Nero's favorite, Kai Est Galblaze.Former party member and nobleman of Spada. "

"N-No, why would someone like that..."

"I don't know, there's a lot of stuff up there."I'm making him work as a slave, but I don't know what to do if something happens to him. "

"Shit... hey, how long have you been watching this?"Get out of here!! "

I told you to go, but the soldiers couldn't stand the vibe and left quickly.

"Hey, can I get up?"

"Ah... thank you..."

"Don't worry about it. I'm not going to do anything serious."

Then, the goblin boy ran to the tunnel.

The rest of Khai vomits as little as a soldier, saying, "Shit..."

"I'm sorry. Nero's the only one who likes me right now."

I have no regrets that you turned down Nero's invitation to come under me, and between the throne of Avalon's Royal Castle.

Kai was then sent straight to this Mithril mine.However, I was just told by the knight I was going to take you with me whenever I wanted to.

Since then, they have been engaged in forced labor here, just like any other mine slave.

The life of the great nobility, who is hailed as the Four Nobles of Spada, is the opposite of the life of slavery, but the life of an adventurer is used to being handicapped.There's a roof, so you don't have to worry about monster raids to get some rest.

I'm used to painful and dirty things.Kai, who boasts superhuman physical abilities, does not have much difficulty in mine mining, which can be hard physical labor.If you say it hard, you'll get hungry from a poor diet.

I can live with slavery.

I just can't do anything. To stop Nero, to recapture Sparda, or, on the contrary, to recapture the people captured here, the situation was a bitter one.

what the hell am I doing here.....

"---- Oh, Khai, you saved my life so much."

Gustav, it was your guy, wasn't it?

Gustav, a red oak, came under Kai who was shagging in one hand with a face that was not floating.

I was in the same room when I was captured at Fort Galahad, and when I was summoned by Nero, I was divided, but I ended up in the same place again.

Apparently, the goblin boy who was rescued this morning was one of the new American adventurers cared for by Gustav's [Iron Gang].

"What's more than that?"

"It's bumpy."

I see, it's not done yet.

"If you're in a hurry like this, you're in a hurry."Even so, thanks to Falchius, you've gone a long way. "

What are you talking about? Of course, it's about the escape plan.

After continuing to be a mine slave, you will never be released.You might like it a little, or you might find an oversized, high-purity mithril ore and name it a big deal.

But for Kai, it doesn't mean that he's been liberated.

Therefore, it is an escape plan for all the Spada slaves here.

”... I can only drive back the soldiers by the name of Nero”

"That's enough. Thanks to that, I've been very helpful."Now, there are more people who rely on you than I do. "

Although Gustav's words are true, Kai can't be convinced by them.

Gustav drafted the escape plan, and the process is centered around him.Naturally, Khai is fully cooperative, but in case of an information leak, the specific progress has been pushed aside.

However, Khai has been given the public opportunity to get out of here "if he feels like it".At the time of execution, it is planned to make great use of that position.

And Falchius, who is also trapped in this mine, is an important ally.

With his beauty, he has been recruited by the deputy overseeing the mine to gather all kinds of information.From the layout of the facility, the security situation and general plan.

I'm too fond to tell Gustav because I'm immersed in the luxury dormitory with the deputy.

"Hey, even if you leave here--"

"Whoa, no more chatter."Just pretend to be serious, and you'll have to make sure to show it! "

Haha, Kai saw off Gustav's huge back as he laughed.

The escape plan is sure to succeed.

There are many soldiers here, but at least there are no monsters like the apostles, and it is doubtful whether they are even rank 5.As long as we have the weapons, we will be able to take control of the mines.

But what do we do from there?

This isn't Sparda, it's Avalon.It is now an enemy state ruled by the Crucifixionism.

Kai is aware that he is stupid.For the time being, I laid down my sword on the enemy in front of me.That's how I've lived, and that's all I'm glad about.

But I can see that myself.Too much hope for the future.

Say you left here, and then what happened?There's nowhere to go. There is no one to rely on.There are thousands of people who are thrown out in the middle of an enemy nation, but who can never be abandoned.

How do you feed them?You want to raid and plunder the Avalon Village?What will you do if you continue to do such a thing?It wasn't enough to stop Nero.Just to survive, to attack people.It was like a monster in the first place.

"That's why, what should I do..."

While lying on a narrow, hard, dusty bed, Kai kept his thoughts idle.

No matter how much I think about it, I can't answer this evil brain.But I can't help but think of the shadows of a future of far too disturbing ruin.

While suffering from such anguish, the body that has been trained as an adventurer invites you to sleep so that you can rest when you need to ————

DOOOOOOOOOOO!!

"---- What is it!?"

The tremendous explosion sounded, and the enormous sign of magical power that could bounce through his hearing strongly stimulated the sixth sense, and Kai jumped up.

It's bright. It looks like it's already open at night.

Without taking anything, Kai jumps to the top of the squeezed dormitory.

Such a big bang echoed.The others wake up all at once and come out in a fuss.

Outside, the dawn is just around the corner, and the dazzling morning light is about to illuminate the entire mining site.

"---- Wake up, Sparda!"

The voice resounded. Everyone looked up in that direction.

A section where slaves sleep in a dormitory.The man stands on the watchtower that stands in the center of it.

With the dazzling morning sun behind her, the pitch-black armor was shining.

"My name is Chrono."The ancient demon king, Mia Elrod, blessed me! "

The raid on the Mithril mine is set to take place at dawn.

If a captive slave is not supplied with weapons on the spot and used as an immediate force, it will be a hassle to suppress a vast mine.This is a small company of about 150 men.

If you want to rescue a few people, you can quietly infiltrate in the middle of the night, but it's better to flamboyantly because it will be a simultaneous bee hornet of thousands of slaves.Besides, there is a danger of darkness and mutual scrutiny.

So, the 21st of the month of Shinnyo.

Dispersed in the disguise of a well-accustomed merchant and escort, we entered the baron's realm and quickly gathered in the Mithril mine.I waited for the dawn as planned.

---- Is it time to go?

Fiona, illuminated by the morning sun, quietly revealed herself without any care.

The sun is still only halfway up the mountain, but it's getting brighter enough. You would have been around by then.

"Oh, the smoke of war." One shot, ask for a big one. "

It's been a long time, so I'll do my best.

The Baxter General Assembly, the Knights Guard at the Border Fort, and the covert operation continued, so Fiona didn't make it, but I wondered if she cared about the plains.

This is Colonel Fiona, the most flourishing [Anticross] of our greatest firepower.I don't like it, but I'm turning around.

Fiona is currently on a steep cliff near the top of the Mithril mine.Normally, it was a cliff where no soldiers could be deployed, but the Rank 5 adventurer was not Date.Fiona is a raw witch mage class, but she has the mobility to run up the vertical wall.About this amount of cliff climbing before breakfast... no, I've been eating breakfast.

So, it's just me and Fiona here.To be precise, there was a fairy Vivian who was turning into her undercover correspondent.

The view from here is just as amazing as it is relaxing in the morning sun.Just below this is Avalon's largest Mithrill mining site, a spectacular landscape.

The mine here is centered on a large plaza in the mountainside.For a long time, the area of the slope was gradually widened.An unnaturally large open plot of land is built in the middle of the mountain.

The biggest Avalon was not Date.There is a huge warehouse that holds the mined ore, and a large refinery for primary processing here.

Many freight dragon cars were stationed to carry the processed Mithril ore or the ore as it was.

Of course, there are also towers and barracks to monitor and supervise the large number of slaves who can be forced to live here.Among them, the large four-story stone building, which is tall at first, is the management building that has jurisdiction over the entire mine.

Previously, he was headed by the general manager of the mining site, but now it is called a luxury dormitory where deputy officials dispatched from the capital live.At the same time, there was a particularly strict security around the management building in case.

From here, you can see fully armed soldiers, and there are tortoises in all directions, showing the image of a complete fort.I don't know how much you're afraid of rebellion.

Let's start with the barracks. Don't mistake them for slave dormitories, shall we?

Surrounded by a fence, it's more like a slave dormitory.

Final confirmation just in case.Both were made of simple wood, so it was suspicious to see them from a distance.

It is a good landmark because it is openly enclosed by a ridge towards the slave dormitory to prevent escape.

Well then, let's go ─ Ignis Fortis Sagita

Fiona's beloved long cane (staff) "Warpurgis" blooms in five minutes, forming a scorching fireball.

Along with that, the magic circle painted on the ground shone bright red, giving it more power.

The magic ceremony of this magic circle is "Distant Throw (Catapult)".It is a ranged attack auxiliary ritual magic that was once used by the sorcerer squad that shot attack magic from across the river in Alsace defense.

In a constantly moving battlefield, you can't draw a magic circle long enough, but if you're in a specific position to support the artillery, these ritual magic auxiliaries are a classic in the Sorcerer Squad.

There's only one Fiona here, but it's still a very large cannon.I definitely don't want to be the one to be able to shoot Fiona unilaterally from the out-of-range by using the [Catapult] to greatly extend the range.

A gigantic fireball fired up with a bang! flies with a large parabola.Draw a line of fire into the blue sky lit by the morning sun and fall accurately toward the target barracks.

DOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Shots fired.

A huge pillar of fire rose, and the soldiers housed in the barracks were instantly caught in the fire of Guren.A wooden dormitory or something like that.In addition to the direct fire building, there was also a flash fire immediately to the neighbor, and the fire spread as soon as possible.

Wow, after all, your husband's firepower is unbelievable

This is the middle heat.

Vivien, who was stuck on Fiona's shoulder, said with a pulled look.

But I also think it's about mid-heat.I'm not having a party with Fiona on Date.You'll get used to it. [M]

"All right, keep it up, please."

It's a simple job to shoot with a stick.

"Just watch out for accidental shots, don't be shy."

“Don't worry, the view is great here.”

Well then, I'll go with you.

"Yes, come on in."

Fiona gave me a kiss with a clear face.I'm not going out the front door of the house... but this is a cute place at my own pace.But Vivien saw it with white eyes.It's still embarrassing to have people's eyes.

After such a sloppy exchange, I put my temper on the helmet of [Maximilian].

Come on, let's fly ---- 'Storm Demon King (OverSky)'

Fifth blessing, activated.

Like Fiona said, the view is really good here.If you jump straight, you're in line to your destination.

Along with a tremendous amount of acceleration, I decided to make a huge leap from the cliff.It's essentially like flying in the air.

He flies like a shell, but when he lands on the ground like this, it hurts a little.

Boost!

Auxiliary thruster activated, I'll fix it a bit ~

In a quick move, the "Storm Demon King (OverSky)" was removed, and the main booster on the back was jetted backwards to kill the speed.Then, the sheep blow each subthruster to fine-tune its trajectory.

All we have to do is stick it in.

"---- Successful landing"

I broke the wall and got off at a large watchtower standing in the middle of a tree-lined section of the slave quarters.

A tower overlooking 360 degrees was filled with soldiers, as a matter of course.Even in this morning, he seems to be keeping an eye out for deserters, but he probably didn't expect to come down from the sky all of a sudden.

Captain, there's an armored man in the sky!I can't believe how suddenly you scream.

"What... what is this guy?!"

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry."

That's why we need to get rid of it quickly.Magic Bullet (Valet Arts).

With the amount of ammo, I decided on a headshot that slashed through each helmet, and suppressed the watchtower.Now, I thought I'd make a morning call to the slaves, but it's hard to see me here.The scene of a man claiming to be the Demon King seemed plain to me.

Shit. It's not good to be plain.

That day, Fiona said to me, "That's plain." The word is still poking deep in my heart, and from time to time I can remember, it's stinging my chest.

Leaving aside my modest trauma, a flamboyant appearance suitable for a demon king... like a glow or an explosion or a strict BGM?

RUAAAAAAAA.....

"No, I didn't call."

Please retract the tombkeeper.

Can you wave "Prison Door Key - Engrave Doom" when you are about to lead thousands of allies?It's an indiscriminate weapon that zombies any enemy ally.

I decided to go out on the roof for the time being, pushing back into the depths as I tried to come out with the beautiful singing from the shadow space (shadow gate).

All you have to do is stand on the roof.It should shine like a good sunrise now.Pandora whispers more shine to me.

With that, I went up to the roof of the watchtower with a good view, and after deciding to stand up for the king, I turned on the voice amplification function of the helmet and raised my voice.

"---- Wake up, Sparda!" My name is Chrono.The ancient demon king, Mia Elrod, blessed me! "

Good morning, I didn't even have to call out, but already a lot of slaves are jumping out of Zorozoro and the dormitory.The sound of Fiona's first blow being knocked into the air is a wake-up call.

And their gaze is focused on me, loudly raised in such a prominent place.All right, we're in a state of listening for now.

"My only mission is to destroy the Crusaders from this continent."It's not just Spada who gets it back, it's all Pandora! ”

I don't have time to give a long speech.I have to briefly tell you what I need to do.

I didn't hurry, didn't bite, and I was conscious of the tone of speaking harshly like a demon king.

"That's why I'm not just here to help you."Only those who are willing to fight the Crusaders will follow along with this Demon King Chrono! "

All we need now is a willing volunteer.Cowards, cowards, impotent young people these days, there's no better environment to lead them.It's not pandemonium that makes it one end of the battlefield.

But I wasn't too worried.Most of them here are Spardas brought from Fort Galahad.There's no one who can accept such a defeat.

"Now, only a proud Sparda man should take my sword!!"

Here, the "Shadow Gate" and "Infinite Embraer" are fully unlocked.

In the spatial magic (dimension), which boasts a vast capacity, the blackened sword that had accumulated in the pile was released in one go.Shoot a bunch of swords around with a series of [Sword Arts] like bullets.

You don't even have to deal with the people down there.Anyway, the blackened swords that were released with only a small aim were pushed to the ground one after another.

In an instant, it was around a watchtower that turned into a black needle hole.

All are mass-produced longswords.The intensity of the blackened product is slightly better. It doesn't come off.

Enough weapons to take this level of control, right?

"---- hahaha! To call yourself the Demon King, you've come out big, Chrono!!"

So, the first one to answer my call aloud was a man.

The tattered blonde hair completely faded, a pair of shabby pants like mine slaves, and a dirty body.However, the will to fight from its body is truly worthy of a Rank 5 adventurer.

"If I don't call myself the Demon King, I won't be able to do it--it's been a long time, Khai."I'm glad you look better than I thought. "

"You suddenly come and do it flashily, right?"Corner, I had a sneak escape plan, but it was in vain. "

"I'm sorry about that. Shall we change the day?"

"Hah, I've been whispering since I got here."I don't know what to do right now--so I'll do it, we'll do it! "

Khai pulled out his sword, which he pierced in front of him, and raised it high and shouted.

"Now is the time for us to get up!"Follow the Demon King! Take back Sparda's pride!! "
